SAY IT'S SPITE WORK.
Representatives of the Chicago Ex-
haust Ventilating Company Claim


haust yentilating Company Claim
The Right to- Live at the Ryan.
In the somewhat heated debate that fol-
lowed the reading of the report of the cham
Der of commerce committee Monday morn
ing, or the question of school-house ventllat-
ing contracts, Mr.. Osborne pointed his finger
toward the Ryan hotel and remarked that
one reason for the award of the contracts as
they went was that Two men who knew how
to work school boards had been stopping over
there for some time. These men were u. H.
Reynolds aud E. g.. Barratt, two representa-
tives of the Exhaust Ventilating company, OF
Chicago. They have been stopping at the
Ryan, as Mr.. Osborne said, for some time, but
they claim they have right to stop there so
long as their firm pays the bills and keeps
them there.
They said to u GLOBE reporter yesterday
that the fuss made by Mr.. Osborne was q
piece of spite work, pure and simple.
SAYS ITS SPITE WORK.
'sThe fact is said Mr.. Reynolds ''when
Mr.. Osborne talks about home labor and
home talent and about there being men in st.
Paul that can put in system of ventilation,
he is simply mistaken. Our firm has en-
ployed Mr.. Barratt here who is graduate of
an institution which teaches the science on
(which our inventions are based. He makes
it study ard when he is not out assisting in
putting system in order he is at our es-
luDnSQmGnC IN SnlcdgO making cSperllHenl Us.
All we want is to introduce our system OF
ventilation. That is worked in connection
with steam heating. The work of plumbing
and gas fitting is done by st. Paul labor. We
don't bring men from Chicago to do that. We
have given work out to twenty men here,
besides al the material used, or as much as
can be obtained. is purchased in ST. Paul.
We paid Mr.. Osborne himself for work we
gave HIM to do in connection with the Frank
lin school heati ng. And now While Mr.. Us
borne and others are creating this row about
TOUR receiving q contract all the laboc for
which goes to st. Paul men, they allow
another man to come in and gObble up the
work of heating Il number of schools with
furnaces which does not furnish 4 single
days labor to men in Mr.. Osbornes BUSH
ness"
''What do you suppose we stop here for?'
asked MIR. Barratt For the same reason
that you come in hereto see people. You
Lave no idea how many people we have met
here and taken out to see the working of the
system. Some films have men continually on
the road in the interest of their business.
Don't you suppose that it is cheaper to stop
here and pay So day than to be travelling
around all the time and not have the practical
working of the system to show to people? If
it is going to make any difference we can
move around the corner and live at cheaper
place. But can't see what difference it can
make with Mr.. Osborne if our firm chooses to
locate US at the Ryan or any other hotel. We
are here because it is to our advantage to be
here. That's all.

HIS OLD WIFE LEFT HIM.
Pitiful Tale Told by Farmer vOss.
Ter of an Unfaithful Spouse.

A gray-bearled man of fifty years came to
the mayors office in st. Paul yesterday and
told plaintive story of his domestic sorrows,
and asked for good counsel from kind-hearted
Horace Dunno. His name is Vossler, a
farmer living at Rosemount, twelves miles
from ST. Paul in Dakota county. his beloved
wife deserted him two years ago. and since
that they have lived apart. When she left
him Mrs. Vossler complained of cruel treat
ment, but he says she had no reasons to do so.
During +, the two years they have
lived apart the couple have still
retained friendly relations, and Vossler has
made it a practice to call and see his semi
divorced wife whenever he felt inclined. OF
late, he asserts, another farmer in the vicin-
ity Of Rosemount, whose wife left him some
time ago, has been paying attention TO Mrs.
Vosser, and has succeeded in getting her to
come and live with him. Vossler SAID he went
to see his wife at tine house of her unlawful
mate and was kicked out by the latter. He
has two married daughters living near Rose
mount, and is sorely grieved about the ac-
tons of his wife.
Mr.. Dunno gave him some good advice and
he went TO Hastings, the seat of Dakota
county, to take steps towards having the
other man and his wife arrested for adultery.
